24" LCD - $279 + Free S/H - Soyo 24DYLM24D6 - Ends 04/26/08

Edit 04/20/08: The price has been lowered yet again to $279.99!
Offer good until April 26th, 2008.

Update: I've been using it for over a week now. I'm very happy with it. I'm going to see if I can get a price match for my purchase last week.

Update: Office Max gave me the $30 adjustment. So the monitor only cost me $279.99, even though I paid $299 for it. I was also able to turn in 5 used ink cartridges for an additional $15 off and could have (if I had one) used the $30 off $150 coupons they mail out regularly. Maybe next time.

--------------------
I've been using mine for two days (Picked it up at the store). It's great. Probably the best thing about this is it is NOT a TN Panel. It is a MVA panel. This means it is has a great viewing angle and the colors stay bright and true no matter what angle you're looking at it from. It's the only MVA panel I'm aware of in the sub $400 price range that is 24".

$100 off of $399 = $299 with free S/H (Expired 04/19/08)

I can't attest to how long the monitor will last, but the screen is fantastic, the OSD is pretty intuitive and it is wall-mountable from the back. Comes with a 1-year warranty.

I would really like to get this with my $300 economic stimulus rebate, but I just can't justify it, I don't know what I'd do with my current setup.

You would give it to me, of course, SNGX1275.

Actually, I think you're supposed to buy the monitor with the economic stimulus check, and then charge a new desktop to begin the economic healing process. We can't expect the government to get us out of this slump just by simply printing more money.

No, although there is a 26" KDS at Newegg for $399 which HDCP compatibility, if you are looking for a big screen at a good price. It has pretty good reviews - at least the ones I can find although I have no clue what it looks like person.

Well.....It's mine now...

So I went out and bought one of these, and from 2 feet away it is quite a viewing experience.

Rick, I always tell myself I'm going to install a tuner in my PCs, but I never do.

Which makes me really delighted with the Soyo.

There are actually 2 different "boxes" for this monitor; 1 says 500 nits and 6ms response, the other 400 nits and 3ms response.

Another forum/review site was alleging that some of these were MVA and some were TN panels. Mine looks terrific at a much greater angle off axis than my 3 Westinghouses, so I'm happy and I'm going to shut up now.

Wow, I thought you'd never shut up.

Lol, anyway, if I weren't getting my truck with my stimulus package (hoping to god I do get it) I would get it. You see, I am 15, and have my Mothers social security coming in, so I am supposed to be able to get it. I worry that they will refuse me the money, though. I met all requirements, though.
